Punjab government provides electric bikes to students

The Punjab government has successfully launched the Chief Minister Youth Initiative, a project aimed at improving student mobility and easing daily transportation challenges.

Under the leadership of Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz Sharif, the initiative provides students with convenient and cost-effective transportation options in the form of electric and petrol bikes.

The government has ensured that the installment plans for the bikes are accessible to all students.

“This project will create convenience for students and ensure savings in their daily lives,” said CM Maryam Nawaz. “The ease of travel and time saved will lead to improved academic performance.”

For students without parental support, the initiative has waived the requirement for parental guarantees, making the scheme more inclusive.

The Chief Minister also announced plans to transition Punjab towards electric transportation, with solar-powered charging stations set to be established across the province.

The project also aligns with the government’s plan to transition Punjab towards electric transportation. Solar-powered charging stations will be established across the province, and the government will provide battery insurance and warranties for the electric bikes.

To ensure safety on the roads, helmets and protective gear will be mandatory for all bike recipients.
